| - PETER: (gets a call on his phone while curled-up with Bolivia Dunham in bed) Oh, you've got to be kidding me. (answers) Hello? (listens) Walter, is that you? I can hear you breathing. CLEANING LADY: (calling from Liberty Island) Is this Peter Bishop? PETER: Yes. CLEANING LADY: (distressed) I'm calling from New York. I know this is gonna sound crazy, but I just saw a woman disappear in front of my eyes. PETER: Who is this? CLEANING LADY: Her name was Olivia. She has a message for you. She's trapped in the other universe. (hangs-up) BOLIVIA DUNHAM: Who is it? PETER: (hesitates) Apparently I'm eligible for unprecedented savings. BOLIVIA DUNHAM: Unprecedented savings at Midnight? PETER: Well, it's never too late for savings. BOLIVIA DUNHAM: Apparently not. I think that you should save their number and call them back when they're sleeping. PETER: Blocked. BOLIVIA DUNHAM: Oh. (Peter lays awake for several hours, waiting. he slips quietly from the bedroom and starts to inspect items in the drawer. he continues looking in a file box and a card index. he studies a small sheet of cheap, romantic, carnival images they took together. he picks-up her laptop computer, sitting near his identical laptop, and moves to where he can keep an eye on her as she sleeps. he attempts to open the password secure files with no luck. he is joined in the family room) BOLIVIA DUNHAM: What you doing? PETER: (bleary-eyed lie) Just sending an e-mail. BOLIVIA DUNHAM: At two-fifteen? PETER: Well, it's not two-fifteen in Greece. Thought I'd catch up with a friend in Corinth. BOLIVIA DUNHAM: You got a friend in Corinth? PETER: Yeah. And like he always says... Einai kalytero anthropo apo ton patera toy. BOLIVIA DUNHAM: What does it mean? PETER: It means, be a better man than your father. His dad's not great at communicating either, so we have that in common. I thought I'd stay in touch. BOLIVIA DUNHAM: Oh. I'm going back to bed. You coming? PETER: Yeah, I'll be right there. I'm just gonna grab a glass of water. BOLIVIA DUNHAM: Okay. (Peter opens and closes the cabinet demonstratively. then returns to find Bolivia leveling her pistol at him) BOLIVIA DUNHAM: I failed the test, didn't I? What did it mean? The Greek phrase. PETER: It meant exactly what I said it meant... but it was Olivia who said it to me, not some friend. BOLIVIA DUNHAM: How'd you figure me out? It had something to do with that phone call, didn't it? PETER: How'd you do it? How'd you replace our Olivia? You were with us when we came back from the other side, weren't you? BOLIVIA DUNHAM: You have a lot of questions. I understand. But you can understand that I can't give you the answers. PETER: This from the woman standing in front of me in pajamas who just shared the same bed with me. I guess answers is where you draw the line. BOLIVIA DUNHAM: It's not realistic to think that I wouldn't do what I came here to do. (tosses him a small case with a vial and a syringe) PETER: (studies the vial) Is this gonna kill me? BOLIVIA DUNHAM: (as he sits to inject himself) Not if you do it right. Five cc's should be enough. PETER: So why are you here? What was the assignment? That's alright. (fills syringe) I wouldn't tell me either. 'cause if you're telling the truth and this doesn't kill me, the last thing you want me to have is information. BOLIVIA DUNHAM: You gonna come after me? You gonna kill me? PETER: No, I'm gonna get answers. And if I find out that you did anything to Olivia, then I'm going to kill you. (injects his arm) BOLIVIA DUNHAM: (whispers to him as he starts to fade and blur) The effects of the paralysis will wear off in a few hours.
